세계의 소골 및 소관절용 정형외과 기기 시장 : 시장 규모, 점유율, 동향 분석(2025-2031년)

The global small bone and joint orthopedic device market was valued at nearly $5.6 billion in 2024. It is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%, reaching over $8.1 billion by 2031.

This comprehensive report covers shoulder reconstruction, elbow repair, hand and wrist, and foot and ankle devices. Each anatomical category is further segmented by implant type, ranging from total joint reconstruction to internal fixation and bone fusion systems.

The analysis quantifies unit sales, average selling prices (ASPs), market values, and growth rates, alongside detailed competitive analysis, company shares, and forecasts through 2031, with historical data back to 2021.

Growth in this market is fueled by the global expansion of outpatient orthopedic care, minimally invasive procedures, and patient-specific implant technologies. These innovations, combined with an aging yet active population, are reshaping the landscape of extremity reconstruction and fixation.

Market Overview

• The global small bone and joint orthopedic device market includes medical implants and instruments designed to restore function to the shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, foot, and ankle. While each sub-segment has its own unique procedural profile, the market shares a common trend: a shift toward anatomically optimized, low-profile, and minimally invasive solutions.

Technological innovation continues to redefine how small joint surgery is performed. Surgeons are adopting 3D preoperative planning, patient-specific instrumentation, and intraoperative imaging to enhance accuracy and predictability. These tools enable more efficient soft-tissue management and improved implant alignment.

Another major change is the migration of procedures from hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Outpatient facilities offer lower costs and faster recovery for patients, making them ideal for small joint procedures that require shorter anesthesia times and minimal hospital stays. As reimbursement systems adjust to reward efficiency, this shift is expected to accelerate.

Market value is further supported by a rising number of younger patients seeking surgical solutions that allow them to remain active. Unlike large-joint replacements, small joint surgeries often aim to preserve bone and maintain motion, aligning with modern lifestyle expectations. The convergence of precision implants, improved fixation materials, and motion-preserving designs is driving this segment's steady expansion.

Market Drivers

Aging Global Population

The population aged 65 and older is the fastest-growing demographic worldwide. These individuals remain more active than previous generations, leading to a higher incidence of degenerative and traumatic joint conditions in the upper and lower extremities. As a result, demand for reconstructive and fixation procedures is increasing across all small joint categories.

This demographic trend has especially benefited the shoulder reconstruction and foot and ankle segments, where arthroplasty and fusion procedures are rising steadily. Aging patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, osteoarthritis, or post-traumatic degeneration represent a reliable procedural base, while improved implant survival rates support confidence in surgical intervention.

Technological Advancements

Innovation remains a defining force. Minimally invasive surgical techniques, 3D preoperative planning, low-profile anatomic plates, and advanced fixation systems are improving precision and reducing recovery times.

The use of CT-based implant design and additive manufacturing (3D printing) allows for patient-specific implants and cutting guides that match individual bone geometry. These advances enable more accurate alignment and reduce the risk of soft-tissue irritation.

Shift Toward Outpatient Settings

As surgical instruments become more compact and procedures less invasive, small joint operations are increasingly performed in ASCs. This trend is driven by healthcare cost containment and by patient preference for outpatient recovery. Procedures such as reverse shoulder arthroplasty and total ankle replacement, once confined to inpatient environments, are now routinely done in outpatient settings with equal or better outcomes.

Market Limiters

Regulatory Stringency

Orthopedic device manufacturers face increasingly rigorous global approval standards. Agencies such as the U.S. FDA, European Medicines Agency (EMA), and national authorities in emerging markets continue to raise clinical evidence requirements.

Longer approval timelines, non-harmonized documentation standards, and region-specific testing protocols add cost and complexity to product launches. This dynamic can delay market entry for innovative technologies and limit early adoption in smaller regions.

Surgeon Training and Availability

Small joint procedures demand specialized expertise that differs from large joint surgery. A limited number of trained extremity surgeons-especially in developing markets-constrains procedural volume. The steep learning curve for advanced operations, such as reverse shoulder arthroplasty, total wrist arthroplasty, and total ankle replacement, can slow the pace of adoption even where demand exists.

Clinical Need Constraints

The total addressable market for small joint surgeries remains smaller than for hip or knee replacements. Conditions such as shoulder arthritis, elbow degeneration, or wrist collapse are less prevalent, resulting in lower procedural counts per capita. Although unit growth is steady, it is inherently capped by a narrower disease base.

Pricing and Reimbursement Pressure

Reimbursement structures vary widely by country. In many regions, the reimbursement for small joint procedures is less favorable than for large joint surgery, which pressures hospitals and suppliers to maintain affordability.

At the same time, procurement consolidation and group purchasing organizations (GPOs) in mature markets continue to limit price increases, keeping ASP growth modest even amid technology advancement.
